Hell-o Boils and Ghouls! Welcome to my 3rd Top 5. It is ghastly to see you.

This topic is Horror Comics! Doesn't have to be a single comic, although it can be - which terrifying treasures of trauma tickle your thoracic bones?

In no real order...

WARNING! I'm not old but I'm not young either so most of these comics were printed decades ago!

Weird War Tales

Not sure if these were the first comics I read other than Archie's and whatnot but it certainly is the most memorable to me. I liked Horror comics and I liked War comics and putting the two together was sheer brilliance.


Clive Barker's Night Breed

This was a very good anthology book with a range of different horror type stories. The art was great as well and I think the Epic line was a fantastic place for the series.


Werewolf By Night

Pretty much a toss up between this and Tomb of Dracula. I guess there is only one reason why I chose WBN!


Boris Karloff's Tales of Mystery

Another blast from the past! I loved the detail that the artists put onto the page and the stories, while usually short, had a formative impact on my young psyche.


'Namwolf

Don't want to look like I only like the old stuff, this one is pretty cool! It's reminiscent to me about Weird War Tales as it is a story about a werewolf in the Vietnam War.


I left a whole lot of others on the cutting room floor but I did say Top 5 so I guess it's my fault!
